XCIII. The Request

1 Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign will denies,
Accepted at thy throne of grace,
Let this petition rise;

2 "Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
"From ev'ry murmur free;
"The blessings of thy grace impart,
"And make me live to thee:

3 "Let the sweet hope that thou art mine,
"My life and death attend;
"Thy presence thro' my journey shine,
"And crown my journey's end."
